(1 - 38) of 38 OFCS Rating: 34% Rotten Page   1   "Diane Lane, who's honed her acting craft to perfection, wins best in show here."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker C "Must Love Dogs is finished with the cookie cutter; it's time to pass it on."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark B "Only in Hollywood would people make movies about how Diane Lane has trouble finding dates. "   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "Sarah, per generic prescription, has her own set of confidants, including her sisters, her father, and the butcher."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3/4 "Attractive, witty, and exceedingly cute movie seeks undiscerning viewers for good times and more!"   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth 3/4 "...the film is ultimately difficult to resist, though it's clear that those who generally dislike this sort of thing will really hate this."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C "Tepid sitcom romantic-comedy that's not a bow-wow but never gets out of the doghouse."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "Lacks the requisite passion and urgency to make the experience anything more than a periodically pleasant waste of time."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman .5/4 "To paraphrase some hackerish blurb I just heard on the shill-y E! network: Must Love Dogs is in the doghouse."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B- "The dialogue in general is a notch above the norm, snappy and tight and remarkably unlike the drivel these things usually have."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1/4 "A romantic comedy so generic that its label AND what’s inside is nothing but a black-and-white checklist of the lamest rom-com clichés ever invented."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C+ "Formula is forgivable; roteness less so."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov D "If you love this movie, you're figuratively obeying the title's injunction."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A lively romantic comedy, grounded by John Cusack as an intense idealist with wit and a big heart, about the role of Internet match-making services in the dating game."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 55/100 "An inconsequential, harmless piece of moderately cute fluff"   eCinemaCenter.com   Gabe Leibowitz 2.5/4 "Bland and forgettable -- a romantic comedy with affable characters and some funny lines, but where love never really takes flight. It fizzles when it should sizzle."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "Even with a too-cute script, divorcee romantic comedy is passable thanks to the peanut butter/chocolate pairing of Diane Lane and John Cusack."   Netflix   James Rocchi '2.5/4' "Its flaws are patently obvious and they aren’t pretty."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 5/10 "Must Love Dogs could have used a longer leash and a lot more frolicking in the park."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 2.5/5 "Nowhere near as good as its stars due to stagy dialogue, but still a sweet experience."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3/5 "think of Must Love Dogs as a You’ve Got Mail without Norah Ephron’s neuroses"   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr C- "...packed with situations that only exist to provide punchlines and actors talking about love without convincing that they're in it. "   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford B- "For better and worse, the pieces comprising Must Love Dogs are borrowed from every other romantic comedy."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[T]ries way too hard. Watching the movie is like being on a first date, it’s trying so earnestly to be normal and nice and not freak you out..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/4 "Everything that happens here has happened in dozens of romantic comedies before. If you’re thinking of going to see Dogs, all I can say is: you’ve already seen it."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "Like the computer-ad dates on screen, this promises much more than it delivers."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/5 "Uma produção sem entusiasmo ou vida, o que é fatal para seus propósitos."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 1.5/5 "The movie wastes the talents of its two leads by refusing to take any risks with the material, marching in lockstep to every genre cliché."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 2.5/5 "Manages to be engaging, even though the plot is badly underdeveloped."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline D "Dragging your boyfriend/husband to this movie will give him the leverage to demand multiple screenings of Jerry Bruckheimer films as penance. Ladies, you have been warned."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux C "What went wrong? The script is a bit dodgy and the actors seem to be going through the motions."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C "Must Love Dogs is the kind of film that benefits far too much from its very talented veteran cast."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3.5/5 "Even vehicles on autopilot eventually reach their destinations, and Dogs proves to be an easy ride"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell "It's ostensibly about adults, but there's nothing remotely adult about it."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 7/10 ""Charming and sweet, wrapping a leash around your heart.""   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 1/4 "Not everything needs to be art, of course, so here goes your proof."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 6/10 Read review   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo  (1 - 38) of 38 OFCS Rating: 34% Rotten Page   1
